CONCORD — Settlers Green's proposal to open a Market Basket store in North Conway got a major boost Tuesday from the New Hampshire Supreme Court.
The owners of North Conway Grand Hotel, which sits adjacent to the site of the as yet unbuilt store, have delayed construction through a series of lawsuits directed against Settlers and the town of Conway, which had agreed to vacate a municipal road around the supermarket site.

I can't wait until Market Basket opens up in North Conway. It will save me the long drive to the one in Plymouth. Their store is great and hopefully the one in North Conway will be too.
Re Market Basket. I'm looking forward to Market Basket 's opening, and finally something beneficial for local people has a chance to flourish. It will provide jobs, and excellent fresh products and I applaud Mr Barsamian for not giving into all the pressure he has endured . Kind regards, Ann McGarity, Tamworth NH
